Antes De Ti
Kalimba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tan dulce al respirar
Llenaste el tiempo trajiste luz del suelo
Encuentro tanta paz
En tu reflejo me vi hoy al despertar
Entre tus pasos segui mi libertad
Hasta donde tu estas
Con tanto amor me iluminaste
Desde que tu llegaste mi corazon sanaste
El dolor que habia antes de ti
De pronto transformas en astros cada forma
Y el miedo por fin se va en tu reflejo me vi hoy al despertar
Entre tus pasos segui mi libertad
Hasta donde tu estas
Desde que tu llegaste senti q me tocaste con tanto amor
Me iluminaste desde que tu llegaste mi corazon sanaste
El gran dolor que habia antes de ti
Antes de ti
, I felt lost and incomplete. But now you are so deeply ingrained within me that it feels like you are a part of my very being. Your presence is like my breath, sweet and comforting. You have filled my days with light and brought peace to my life. Your arrival has brought about a transformation in me, and I have found freedom in following your footsteps to where you are.
Looking into your eyes today, as I woke up, I saw a reflection of myself. You have touched me with so much love and shed light on my path. My heart, which was once in pain, has been healed by you. Your love has transformed even the mundane into the stars, and all my fears have been quelled.
Through this song, Kalimba is expressing his gratitude and appreciation for the person who has come into his life and turned it around completely. He feels elated and blessed, and the lyrics are an anthem to the transformative power of love.

Por que a la mayoría le gusta escuchar BASURA cómo la bichota
@noneitort3151
@Luna Leyva desgraciadamente es verdad
@Dr.AlanMenex
De hecho, podría considerarse un cover de otra canción llamada "Wherever You Will Go" de una banda llamada "The Calling". Con escuchar los primeros segundos de la canción podrías darte cuenta de ello 😅

Después de tantos años y ahora con entendimiento me doy cuenta que esta canción es para el Señor! Wow!
